Vintage Torch Lake Michigan Ceramic Souvenir Tile Fawn Frog Hinter Haus Eastport
About the Tile
This charming vintage 6-inch square ceramic souvenir tile celebrates Torch Lake, Michigan. Printed in a rich royal blue over a glossy white glaze, the mid-century illustration depicts a curious spotted deer fawn greeting a tiny frog, complete with \"Torch Lake, Mich.\" lettering across the top and signed \"hab\" by the artist.
The reverse retains its original vintage shop sticker from the hinter haus in neighboring Eastport, Michigan (Zip Code 49627), alongside original \"MADE IN USA\" and \"AMERICAN 3\" tile manufacturer markings. Equipped with felt corner bumpers for use as a table trivet or display tile, this is a wonderful collectible for fans of Northern Michigan nostalgia, Antrim County memorabilia, and retro cabin decor.
